00:00All right, so let's move on to the Chick Featherweight fight with Cyborg, Chris Cyborg back at it.
00:11Yeah, you want to talk about legends.
00:13There is no one better probably in the women's division ever.
00:16Maybe you talk about Amanda Nunez because she did beat Cyborg when she had that brief
00:19run in the UFC, but Cyborg, the 39-year-old, is 27-2.
00:23Her only loss in MMA is to Amanda Nunez, but Checo's tough.
00:28She's only 30, although she's had 27 pro fights.
00:30People might remember her from her run-ins with Kayla Harrison when she was in the PFL.
00:34She lost those first two, got revenge in the last one before Harrison left the PFL, and
00:39now has won her last 10 fights in a row over the last couple of years.
00:42So she's been on a roll, but again, not fighting the level of Chris Cyborg.
00:45Cyborg is actually an underdog in this one, if you can believe it.
00:48Plus 116, I'm sorry, you're going to give me plus money with the baddest women to ever
00:52step in the cage?
00:53I'm going to take it, for sure.
00:54And you can even get Eric KO, TKO, to win by that at plus 240.
00:58I mean, there's no way that you're going to give me plus money with Chris Cyborg and I'm
01:01not going to take that shot.
01:02Honestly, she is going to kill this chick.
01:07I mean, she is the devil.
01:10You don't mess with this chick.
01:11She can beat up men.
01:12All right, what about the middleweight fight with Johnny Eblen and Fabian Edwards?
01:18They fought before.
01:19Yeah, they both had one fight before, after their first fight that they fought for.
01:24Eblen's title.
01:25Eblen is the Bellator middleweight champion.
01:28And it was an interesting fight, very cautious.
01:30Both guys kind of using a lot of kicks, not a ton of punches in the first two rounds.
01:34Eblen is a big wrestler.
01:35He was trying to take Edwards down.
01:37Edwards is good to fight those takedowns, obviously, with the experience of being Leon
01:41Edwards' brother.
01:42He has high-level training partners.
01:44But then all of a sudden, the third round, Eblen catches him with a nice right that drops
01:47him, jumps on him, and finishes him off.
01:49I don't see it going the same way.
01:50I see that Eblen wins it, and the book does, too.
01:52Minus 400 favorite.
01:53And that's dropped down from where it was.
01:55It was like minus 650 to start.
01:57People are taking a shot at Edwards.
01:58I'm not.
01:59I'm going with the champion, Eblen.
02:00I think he wins it again.
02:01But this time, I think it goes back to where both these guys are more comfortable.
02:04Long-distance fight, going the distance, where it's going to end in points of minus 115 either
02:09way.
02:10You know, if you look at the total rounds, it's set at four and a half.
02:12So obviously, the book thinks this is going far as well.
02:14You could also get a little bit less, you know, money that you're laying out there if
02:18you're going to go Eblen and four, five, or by decision, a minus 110.
02:21That sounds like a really good fight, Dan, if it goes four and five.
02:25Better than the other ones.
02:26Let's move on to the last one that you're going to be betting on, which is the McKee-Hughes fight.
02:35Yeah.
02:36A.J. McKee, a guy that we've known and had on this show before, this time in Bellator,
02:39former champion down in Featherweight.
02:41He's fighting Paul Hughes.
02:43He's a tough guy.
02:44You know, there's an Irish fighter.
02:45He's got 12-1 for his career record.
02:47But again, it's who have you fought?
02:49You have not fought the level of A.J. McKee.
02:51And it's a short line for A.J. McKee, minus 176.
02:54You know, I've talked to Ian Parker, who does a lot of the betting on PFL.
02:57You see him on other networks.
02:59He thinks it should be three to one, and it's only minus 176.
03:03I'll take that.
03:04If you really don't like laying the juice, you want a different way in order to get some
03:08better money value, then you go McKee by points for me at plus 155.
03:12But even at 176, you're getting value, because it should be three to one, maybe four to one,
03:15because Hughes has not fought anyone on the level of A.J. McKee.
